This is the site of the mansion of the Toyoda family, masters of the Itabashi-Hirao inn. At the end of the Edo period, Isamu Kondo was confined here until his execution. Also, a Persian camel, which became a freak show during the Edo period, stayed here before entering Edo and became a topic of conversation.
